Why do so few people fact check? Is it because they're too lazy or is it because they're afraid their beliefs and opinions will be proved false? In either case, it's dangerous, for them, the children and everyone else. #Factcheck #Facts #Beliefs

Greenland is an autonomous territory of Denmark, a founding NATO member. As such, Greenland is covered by Article 5, which views an attack (e.g. on Denmark/Greenland ) by an external aggressor (or a fellow member e.g. the USA) as an attack on all. #USA #America #NATO #Greenland #Denmark #Trump

Those who persuade you to believe absurdities can persuade you to commit atrocities. History is overflowing with examples of atrocities being justified by a belief in absurdities.

If only history was as popular as religion. We'd have a chance then of not making the same mistakes over and over and over again. #Religion #usa #america #russia #China #uk #theworld #exceptionalism #history #Trump #Authoritarianism #Putin

Ukraine, Corruption! Of course there's no corruption in the Russian administration under Putin, & no corruption in the US administration under Trump. We should be grateful for that & place condemnation where it belongs. #USA #America #Russia #Ukraine #Trump #Putin #corruption #Zelenskyy

It's the media's duty to clarify: Asylum Seekers taking taxis for medical appointments were following government-contracted providers' rules. For necessary travel beyond the weekly bus pass, taxis were the approved method for medical journeys. Immigrants were obeying the rules, not taking advantage.

Once upon a time It was the same as it is Only it wasn't once upon a time It's been so many times As it is And will be again Time after time Once upon a time Endlessly Hopefully Once upon a time Time after time Trying to make it better

Religions of Peace Interesting that the Israel / Gaza war (a continuation of the war that started in 1948) is not referred to as a "Holy War", another in a long line of Holy Wars conveniently (for believers) not described as such. #God #israel #Gaza #GazaGenocide #religion #War #peace

I'm pleased (and relieved) to find that I'm still eager to learn.

"Sex" & "Gender" are not 2 words for the same thing. Look it up. "Sovereignty" & "Independence" are not 2 words for the same thing. Look it up. Without shared definitions dialogue is impossible & all we get is parallel monologues, misunderstanding & conflict #USA #UK #Sovereignty #independence

Whether it's an audience of one or of ten million, art is completed individually by each individual member of the audience. It isn't just a matter of, "What does art do?". It is also a matter of, "What do *you* do with art?". #artist #art #audience

If it doesn't get made It can't be sold.

After listening to Trump since 2016 and occasionally reading his posts, one thing is clear: English is not his first language. #Trump

In A Nutshell #usa #america #Trump #MAGA #Republicans #democracy #freedom #kindness #justice

When money's tight, half the world takes three paces to the right. It always, always, always ends badly. History matters (which is why we should be aware of it ("woke") and why Trump and Co are re-whiteing and rewriting it) and crucially, whoever you voted for, austerity *never* starts at the top.

The arrogance of “It can’t happen here” when so much of it has already happened. Be woke (be aware) before it’s too late to be other than powerless under Trump2028. “After four years you won’t have to vote anymore.” … Donald J. Trump #USA #America #authoritarian #Trump #NoKings

Trump wants to be accepted as having "The Divine Right of Kings": the religious political doctrine that asserts a monarch's authority comes directly from God, making them answerable only to God and not to earthly authorities like the Senate, the Constitution, parliament or the law. #USA #NoKings

We are watching Trump vandalising & likely irrevocably damaging the #USA. If people want democracy, if people want laws that are just, if people want freedom from tyranny, Trump must not be allowed to take America, as Putin must not be allowed to take Ukraine. #America #democracy #freedom #justice

To the Statue of Liberty & the American people Trump say's "I'm screwing you & your children & there's nothing you can do about it!". The swamp drained is now filled with raw sewage. "The law protects the rich but does not bind them. The law binds the poor but does not protect them". #NoKings!

One thing to be said about Donald Trump: He makes Boris Johnson and Liz Truss look like great leaders. On the other hand he makes Mr Bean look like a great leader. #USA #UK #America #GB #MrBean #Trump

My phone is playing its tone. I'm thinking of the possibility of peace on earth. It could be an important call.

"Empty space is never just background. It is part of the design itself". And so it is with politics. As the laws of physics are central to your existence, politics is central to the quality of your existence. #politics

Trump, within a minute, will do three things. He will threaten, he will lie and he will boast. Who would have thought, except he, that that would be a winning combination? #Trump #America #USA #MAGA #Project2025 #GOP

When I die, don't insult my life and me by saying or writing that I had "passed away" or "passed over" or "passed on" or "passed". Allow me at least the dignity of having died. Anything else would be to insult me. #Death #respect #insult #zeitgeist #belief

Why say what's been said a hundred billion times before? Perhaps someone will listen.

So many people with strong to fanatical opinions, having done no research with an enthusiastic lack of fact checking. And so, The Age of Stupid continues. If social media is the new journalism our children are indeed doomed. #TheAgeOfStupid

Democracy is? Government, "of the people, by the people, for the people". So not one person blackmailing and threatening people and trying to break anyone or any organisation or institution or nation that doesn't give him whatever he wants? #Democracy
